Current TC: 230 K, level 63, too bored with work and dont like the product I am working on in one of the azure teams offer 1: Micrsoft Office Natural language understanding team, compensation and level remains the same. offer 2: Amazon Rekognition (L5) 160K base, 177 K bonus split over 2 years (102+75) 119 Stock units (5%+15%+20%+20%) total tc ~271 K This with a warning that as I am above the 240K limit on L5 compensation range, the compensation will remain fixed till next promotion. There is another offer from Doordash but I am not considering it anymore. edit: yoe ~5 years edit 2: My 5 years of experience is in systems (C++/ASM/debugging). I pursued ML academically. Both the roles are about building service around ML models, and give me good chances of getting deeper into field, therefore better learning is one of my criterions for selecting a team too.
Stay with Microsoft!
240 l5 limit? 😂 I’ve heard of higher even in Seattle , not to mention premium markets
Yeah I know, recruiter kept saying that. She kept saying that 160k is base limit and 240 k is the comp limit for L5 in Seattle
I heard the same shpill but heard of slightly higher base That said if it’s Seattle - the stocks and bonus and final number is really high It’s a high premium market offer basically. And really high / above band for non premium
This is very accurate. If you are really passionate about Rekognition then go for it. Otherwise, MS has better WLB and ipv@ forgot mega backdoor Roth. Love to have you at Amazon but it sounds like you have a cool opportunity.
Edited the main post with more details
YoE?
